PT Announces First Quarter 2011 Financial Results

ROCHESTER, NY – May 11, 2011 -- PT (NASDAQ: PTIX), the recently rebranded Performance Technologies, a leading global provider of advanced network communications solutions, today announced its financial results for the first quarter 2011

Revenue in the first quarter 2011 amounted to $9.7 million, compared to $7.4 million in the first quarter 2010.

On the basis of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the net loss in the first quarter 2011 amounted to ($1.1 million), or ($.10) per basic share, based on 11.1 million shares outstanding, including restructuring charges of $.01 per share and stock compensation expense of $.01 per share. The GAAP net loss in the first quarter 2010 amounted to ($1.9 million), or ($.17) per basic share, including restructuring charges of $.01 per share and stock compensation expense of $.01 per share, based on 11.1 million shares outstanding.

On a non-GAAP basis, the net loss in the first quarter 2011 amounted to ($0.3 million), or ($.03) per basic share, compared to a net loss of ($1.5 million), or ($.14) per basic share in the first quarter 2010. Please refer to the reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures contained in this release.

On March 31, 2011, the Company's working capital position was $18.4 million including cash and investments amounting to $10.8 million, and the Company had no long-term debt.

“While we are disappointed that our first quarter results still show a net loss, there are certainly many encouraging signs for PT," said John Slusser, president and chief executive officer. "Our first quarter acquisition of the former Nortel signaling technologies from GENBAND, along with our strategic alliance with this growing and exciting company, are already bearing fruit and contributing meaningfully to PT's operations. We have now substantially completed transferring our San Luis Obispo engineering projects to our Rochester engineering staff and closed that facility. With this transfer, we now have, on a going forward basis, the full benefit from our expense reduction program announced last December. As we announced last quarter and as we see in this quarter's results, we expect that revenues in 2011 will begin to reflect growth generated by the investments we made over the past several years.”

Recent Highlights

• In January 2011, PT acquired specific signaling assets from GENBAND that included its Universal Signaling Point (USP) and SP2000 products and related intellectual property rights. In addition, PT has entered into a long-term agreement with GENBAND under which PT will provide GENBAND with development, support and maintenance of signaling solutions as integral elements of GENBAND's premier switching portfolio.

• During the first quarter, PT received and shipped an order amounting to nearly $3 million to supply SEGway™ Signaling solutions to a major international wireless carrier. Revenues from this order are anticipated to be recognized during the second half of 2011 as the solutions are installed.

• PT introduced its highest capacity STP and Signaling Gateway platform to date, the SEGway X401e. The latest addition to PT's signaling portfolio addresses the challenges faced by large carriers planning to grow or migrate their networks to next-generation capability.

• PT received a Supplier Excellence Award for outstanding quality and performance by Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems. PT is a supplier to Raytheon of mission critical hardware and software to facilitate critical radar and data communications in the Shipboard Self Defense System (SSDS), Patriot Air and Missile Defense System, and Solipsys Meridian programs.

Business Overview:

The Company globally targets two primary vertical markets for its network communications products, namely telecommunications, and military, aerospace and government systems. The telecommunications market, historically our largest vertical market, is fundamentally driven by investments in network infrastructure by carriers and service providers. Telecommunications market revenues derived from our IPnexus® Application-Ready Systems products, which are sold to OEMs, depend primarily on broad, multi-year deployments of next-generation telecommunications infrastructure. Telecommunications market revenues generated from Service Providers, purchasing our SEGway, Xpress™, UPS and SP2000 product lines, result from investments necessary to support existing and evolving service demands such as text messaging and the transition to Internet-based communications networks. Sales into the military, aerospace and government systems market are typically to prime contractors and system integrators that reflect investment levels by various government agencies and military branches in specific programs and projects requiring enhanced communications capabilities. The timing of military, aerospace and government systems shipments for the most part is highly unpredictable.

More in-depth discussions of the Company's strategy and financial performance can be found in the Company's periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for certain forward-looking statements. This press release contains forward-looking statements which reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is subject to the safe harbor provisions of those Sections. The Company's future operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties and could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements and may be affected by various trends and factors which are beyond the Company's control. These risks and uncertainties include, among other factors, business and economic conditions, rapid technological changes accompanied by frequent new product introductions, competitive pressures, dependence on key customers, inability to gauge order flows from customers, fluctuations in quarterly and annual results, the reliance on a limited number of third party suppliers, limitations of PT's manufacturing capacity and arrangements, the protection of PT's proprietary technology, errors or defects in our products, the effects of pending or threatened litigation, the dependence on key personnel, changes in critical accounting estimates, potential impairments related to investments, foreign regulations, and potential material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. In addition, during weak or uncertain economic periods, customers' visibility deteriorates causing delays in the placement of their orders. These factors often result in a substantial portion of PT's revenue being derived from orders placed within a quarter and shipped in the final month of the same quarter. Forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent audited Consolidated Financial Statements, the Notes thereto, Risk Factors, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Company, as contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As a supplement to the GAAP-based consolidated financial statements contained in this press release, the Company is providing a presentation of non-GAAP financial measures which can be useful to investors to gain an overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance. Specifically, the Company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors by excluding certain expenses the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain expenses such as the effects of (a) amortization of purchased developed technologies, (b) stock-based compensation, (c) acquisition costs, (d) restructuring costs, and (e) other legal costs.

Management utilizes a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of our business, in making operating decisions and forecasting and planning for future periods. We also consider the use of the non-GAAP financial measures to be helpful in assessing various aspects of our business operations.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered a substitute for the corresponding GAAP financial information and should not be considered in isolation from measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP financial information.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures is included herein.
